1. Selection of Cables: Most makes and versions of Cat
5/5e/6 cables will work with the DVI-1-E/LR Extender
and Receiver. However, since the quality and
characteristics of Cat 5/5e/6 cables vary it has been
found that some perform better than others. The major
factor influencing the transmitting distance is the skew
property of the cables. Skew represents the difference
in propagation delay between the fastest and slowest
set of wire pairs. A lower skew will mean a longer video
transmitting distance.
2. Skew Property: A Cat 5/5e/6 cable with a skew lower
than 15ns/100m should enable a cascading length of
<80m (275 ft) at 800x600, <50m at 1024x768, and
<40m at 1280x1024.
3. Termination: The RJ45 terminations to the Cat 5/5e/6
cable must be made to the EIA 568B specifications.
